please stop me if i'm making a big mistake.

	about a year ago, a friend of mine was bent during a runaway drysuit
incident.  he had just purchased the drysuit (as well as a video camera,
housing, pony bottle, reg, etc...) and was a *little* unfamiliar with much
of his equipment.  recently i heard that he has quit diving.  (i moved out
of state to go to school and lost touch...) (with him  :)  )
	he says he has slight residual pain in his left knee.  (he waited
five days to get to a chamber- he figured it was just muscle aches from 8
hours of towing a grapple in a 16' zodiac in six foot waves...  go figure.)
	my question is: should i advise him to get back in the water or
tell him to sell all that nice new gear to me?  <jk> (mostly)

	really though, what is the technical diving communities stance on
diving after DCS?  should i explain the joys of nitrox and O2 deco?  (he
lives in minnesota- not much tech support there...)

	thanks for any advice.  i'd hate to see him hurt again, but i
really don't like seeing him benched for what seems a minor injury.
